Hi Diane, I agree with 1 & 4 but not 2 or 3. I have not followed all the replies so there may be good reason, but can't see the reason for the GEDCOM. I personally disagree with 3. I keep my working Legacy data file on my flash drive, together with all my multimedia, which I use directly from the flash drive. I back up both data and multimedia as zip files (Legacy asks if you want this to happen when you close the programme) on one or all of the computers I use. That way I don't have to do any restore every time I swap computers. The only time I use the zipped back up files is if the data on the flash drive gets corrupt or I loose the flash drive. In this case I go to the computer I used last and unzip. Fortunately I have never has to do this.
Best of luck, Happy New Year, when it comes! David S Brookes Polesworth N. Warks.

Well Thank you for all of the answers that I have received about flash drives. Now for the final questions hopefully. 1 I understand that I should download Legacy to this flash drive. 2 Do a gedcom of my info onto this drive. 3 When I enter info on one computer do a backup to the flash drive then do a restore onto the other computer. 4 get at least a 2g drive, and maybe put on family file on each drive. Do this seem to sum it up? You have all been very helpful. Thank you Diane *** Give the gift of Legacy for the holidays!
